If you like your steak rare and most flavorful, try the following, in descending
order:

1. Hanger steak (onglet).

2. Flat iron steak (typically around $7 a pound).

3. Skirt steak.

Slice them all across the grain when eating.

Depends on personal preference

My choices, in order, would be:

Your favorites depend on personal preference, certainly. But I didn't offer my
favorites; I suggested the cuts I find to be most flavorful.

I enjoy a fine rib eye and a fillet occasionally myself, but neither has
anywhere near the flavor of an onglet.

A guy near me raises Scottish Highland beefers. He offered to sell me some steaks, ribeye and strips, for $6/lb. He was very proud of this beef. I thought "what da hell" and took him up.

I have never tasted better beef. It wasn't all marbled or anything, so I thought it would be tough. No, the fat was on the outside; but i couldn't get over the flavor and texture of the meat. Amazing stuff. I live in a cold climate and those bad boys have long, thick hair; they're comfy here. Wish more beef guys would make that switch.
